The storage period of fresh lychees is limited to between four and eight weeks. When the peel color changes to a dark reddish brown, the process of decay has commenced. The application of plastic film packaging enhances the storage period by maintaining high levels of humidity which reduce the desiccation rate and the high humidity also provides a degree of protection against chilling injury.
